Bug Description

NetworkManager seems to ignore flag "Use this configuration for all users". The networkconfiguration is applied only for the one user who created it, not globally and this configuration is not applied at system boot! To have the system initialize network you'll have to log on with the user whom created the network configuration.

Connect automaticly with this network: yes
All users can use this network: yes
Device: enp4s0
MTU: automatic
WakeOnLAN: ON
IPv4: dhcp
IPv6: dhcp

Network configuration at boot:
# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Lokale Schleife
          inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metrik:1

Network configuration if some user logs in:
# ifconfig
